The Cyberspace Solarium Commission (CSC), marking its fifth anniversary this week, has profoundly influenced U.S. cybersecurity policy, with Congress and the executive branch adopting 80% of its initial recommendations. Authored by Mark Montgomery and Jiwon Ma, a recent blog emphasizes the establishment of necessary tools for enhancing national security in cyberspace. Emphasizing the significance of bipartisan collaboration, both Angus King and Mike Gallagher reflect on the success of the commission's efforts, advocating for continued work in shaping future cyber policies, including proposals like a U.S. Cyber Force.
The federal government now has the tools in place to effectively advance U.S. interests and defend U.S. national security in cyberspace, said Montgomery and Ma.
I consider my participation in the Solarium Commission among the most successful endeavors of my time so far in the U.S. Senate - but also believe the work must continue, stated Angus King.
The success of the Solarium demonstrates what can happen when a bipartisan issue is tackled in a determined and thoughtful way, remarked Gallagher.
Over the last five years, Congress and the executive branch have adopted 80% of the Cyberspace Solarium Commission's initial recommendations, indicating strong governmental response to cybersecurity.
